THE INTERSTATE COMMISSION.
Decides the Milwaukee Must Give SINH
lar Rates on Parallel Lines

lar Rates on Parallel Lines.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 5.-The interstate COM
mission handed down q decision in the
case Of Southern Minnesota Boards of
Trade unions vs.. the Milwaukee. This
case was argued. it will be remembered,
before the commission in Minneapolis
and involved the right of the Milwaukee
to make higher wheat rates on its Iowa s.
Minnesota division than on the river di-
vision. The commission says that while a
reasonable ditferential rate may be al
lowed on the Iowa & Minnesota division
on account of greater distance and prob
able larger expense of transportation,
and the greater stringency of the Compel
tive forces on the River division. the
difference above the present rate on the
river division should not exceed 2la cents
a hundred: that it is not sufficient com
pliance with the law that rates are
reasonable in themselves, butthey should
be SO relatively reasonable as to protect
communities and business against I'M
just discrimination. That when the
same carrier operates parallel lines and
for any cause accepts low rates Oh one
line, it should furnish sufficient CORE
spending advantages to the patrons Of
the othser lint.

CHICAGO, Nov. S.-The gallows upon
which the anarchists are to hang has
been prepared and is now in the base
ment of the county Jail. Purchasing
Agent Lenham was i'll the basement to
look at the walls, az he had been told
they were defective and needed repairing.
He found Il carpenter there at work on
the gallows. The two old ones had been
o~verhauled. One OF them was found
large enough for three and the other one
had been changed for four. The car
penter was hired by Commissioner Hem

the gallows is prepared and ready for use.

DAKOTA WANTS TO DIVIDE.

At Least the Returns Indicate II Big Ma
jority for Division 80 rrohibitionists
Partially Successful.
ST PAUL, Nov. 9.-Spccial dispatches
to the Globe from fifty-seven counties in
Dakota indicate that q big majority has
been rolled up for division. and that In
many counties n successful fight was
made by the Prohlbitionists. The chief
interest in the election ill each county
centered ON prohibition or local option
and division.
Fargo gave a majority of 4sl against
Prohibition, but CasS county at large
went the other way.
The vote in many Of the counties was
very light, and in others nearly IL full
vote was polled. In many towns women
turned out and worked hard for Prohibi-
ton, and children paraded the streets OF
some towns carrying '~'anti-saloon BAN
ners."
Latest returns from Dakota indicate
that not more than half u vote was cast
in many counties. The temperance forces
seem to have been pretty nigh invincible.
Pro-license majorities are reported from
only Bon Homme, Codington: Ramsey and
Stutsman counties. Grand Forks county
joined the prohibition phalanx and the
people of Grand Forks city are
getting excited. Pretty complete re-
turns on division are in from iifty-eight
counties and show u handsome majority
for the question. Twenty-Five OF these
give union majorities aggregating 6,0S2.
These are Benson, Bottineau, Brown,
Cass, Dickey, Eddy, Edmunds, Foster,
Griggs, Hanlin, kidder, La Moure, Mar
shall, Moody, Morton, Pennington, Ran
son., Richland, Sargent, Stark, Steele,
Stutsman, Towner, Trail and Walsh.
Beadle county, Of which Huron is the
county seat, gives the largest majesty
for division, 1888, and Burleigh county,
of which Bismarck is the county seat, did
not vote at all.

with sand. Had it been shot, she would
undoubtedly have been killed. The
